Too this end...let's see your fuckin' tits, ho.I get mad at both religious and non-religious extremists. But I don't hate them. They are both imperfect humans, who failed to see the whole picture.

Hell is every liberals wet dream. The system tells you what you can and can't do, everyone is treated equally, and I'm sure at least some of the punishments mean taking it in the ass.
I know your only kidding, but for the record I'm not a liberal. I am however excited over the prospect of being sodomised by Satan. Devil gonna make it burn so good.

I wasn't referring to you. I was just making a joke.
I've watched South Park. The Devil seems like kind of a nice guy. He just needs someone to love him.
Pffffttt...bullshit.
a cursory glance at my profile page will tell you my political leaning. Also every ten or so posts I tend to vocalise anarchist philosophy. Anarchists are not liberals. You may also consider reading up on the terms. Liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
P.s. even my location under my avi is an anarchist joke.
A clever disguise for your true UK belief in "Big Brother".
The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-women was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. Does this make sense to you?

If christianity didn't influence and affect this country in so many ways, atheists probably wouldn't have such a strong reaction. The fundamentalist lobby is powerful, and it does affect policy. All we are saying is that is shouldn't. The American Atheists movement is needed to counteract the power of the christian freaks who want religion to be considered in every political decision.
So fucking what. I seen those words on two tshirts at the mall yesterday. Of course I didnt fucking write it. Do you direct every video you post?
If atheism leads one to rely souly on the intellect plus an attachment to material phenomena in order to understand reality then they are not courageously seeking truth. The concept of atheism can often have as much of a placebo effect as the views of fundamental religion. They both fail to realise their flaws.
I find it understandable as to why people refuse to acknowledge the deities portrayed by modern day religions but if atheism requires a strict attachment to the material world then where does the pursuit for truth begin and where does it stop? Western science, by its own methodology only works until it stops working (which it does within the fields of quantum mechanics and consciousness) and even then it simply analyses the behaviour of existing phenomena therefore it doesn't find truth but replaces truth with facts which are completely irrelevant to a greater understanding.
It seems that people in general are either high on faith or they are attached to the illusion of knowledge. These both become fundamental views the very moment one becomes attached to any particular belief.
If youre an atheist/materialist, at a personal level you should be able to acknowledge exactly why you dismiss any particular set of beliefs (whether it be a simple case of no scientific evidence or possibly soething else)and be able to give a valid reason that is not tainted with an all too common element of resentment which could have been attributed by any number of reasons.
I find theres an irony within the materialist's concept of reality as using intellect alone they should be able to independently agknowledge the limits within their own set of stringent beliefs and understand why their intellect has been defeated.
I'm also very curious as to what some atheists here actually do believe and how they can honestly justify their purely materialistic views.
The materialistic minded should also acknowledge that the biggest problems science is faced with is consciousness which also happens to be the same field that, if it could be explained accurately, could potentially define our very existence?

- In my imagination.
Because the stupid fucks vote and influence policies and laws that I have to constantly side step on a daily basis.
On the flip side, we also vote and influence policies that they are having to learn to live with.

That's what they have to deal with if they want to live in the U.S. If they don't want to live in a secular country, they can move to Iran. They are not allowed to write their religious beliefs into law.
Albert Einstein's understanding of reality meant that he was able to rise above the sterile views of the academic community and realise how destructive those views could be to our race. In my opinion, he is the epitome of what science should be.
I'm not arguing for the existence of god. I just find that the atheist/god debate is trivialised with mind-numbing topics such as talking snakes, Noah's ark and the effects that religion has on society. Religion has very little to do with God, its just a set of beliefs.
It's a shame because this is probably the most significant topic of discussion and that could contribute to the reason why people often do their best to avoid it like the plague.
But then again, I was lucky enough to be born in a country where religion and politics mix like water and oil so I don't harbour a resentment for religion in the same way that many do.
Anyway, some insightful Einstein quotes:
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
"The only real valuable thing is intuition."
"The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility."
"The man of science is a poor philosopher."
"I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
"Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
"No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?"
"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."
"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
"A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be."
"I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion."
"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."
"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity."
"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."

This is an important statement. I live in one of the most religious countries, and although this country was supposed to be secular, the religious right is constantly trying to force their religious views into law.
I'm not so much interested in the debate of whether there is a god or not, I prefer to discuss evolution vs creationism. An overwhelming number of Americans believe in the creation story and believe that the earth is 6000 years old.
I recently read an article in which the author states that currently there are 6 pieces of legislation that are either trying to force evolution out of schools or force creationism into science class.
